Raj Thackeray terms Shiv Sena, BJP as 'robbers'

THANE: A day after he termed BJP as a party of "bluffers", Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray today described Shiv Sena and BJP as "robbers".

He said Shiv Sena-BJP has looted the Kalyan Dombivili Municipal Corporation (KDMC).

"Last three times, they (Sena-BJP) came and sought the citizens' mandate and you (citizens) gave it and see what you (citizens) get in return, only anarchy and total chaos," Raj told reporters at Dombivili in the district.

Voting for the KDMC polls will be held on November 1.

"This time also they have come to you for the mandate. You have to decide whether you want them (Sena-BJP) or development," he questioned.

He claimed that the locals are "fed up" with the system and there was an "exodus" from the city.

"The BJP and Shiv Sena have messed up everything in Kalyan and Dombivili," he alleged.
